An increasing share of adults under 50 say they're unlikely to have kids -- and the major reason is, well, they just don't want them, according to a report from Pew Research Center out Thursday morning. read more
@#37 ... You seem to be saying that since that one criteria was established and met, that that person can't possibly be competent, capable, intelligent, tenacious, or deserving of the position. You are saying they have no merit other than being black. ...
Well, being Black seems to be the sole criterion for many in the GOP.
Much to Spkr Johnson's apparent dismay.

@#9 ... I don't see a problem. ...
The problem , stated simply, seems to be that the GOP does not like the skin color of the people who want to help make the Country great.
Trump knows exactly what poisoning the blood of our country' meant (January 2024)

... Does it matter whether former president Donald Trump was consciously quoting Adolf Hitler when he said that undocumented immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country"?
Whether Trump cribbed the notion from Hitler or whether it was an original thought, a person has to draw from a putrid internal cesspool of hate to think it, much less say it. ...
@#5 ... but that won't help them win over minorities, women, and undecideds. ...
That remains to be seen.
But then there's this...

Lyrics excerpt...

...
He was a man just a simple man
His thoughts and pleasures were few
His bread he shared with his father
That was the life that he knew
[Chorus]
And how the snow fell in Kiev today
And how the wind drove the mourners away
Now there is only one man at the grave of Davorian
And this man's heart is too heavy to pray
[Verse 2]
He was a man just a simple man
Died at the place of his birth
His tombstone shared by the family
A silent place on the earth
[Chorus]
An old man stands by the side of the grave
And this man's heart is too heavy to pray
For he is numb with the pain
Of the love that he couldn't share
And two men died there in Kiev today

Yeah, rock music is not like that anymore.
@#45 ... I had assumed that in current day, the Secret Service would have digital radios that could be easily tuned to match Pennsylvania officers radios. ..
Digital radios = the ability to scramble.
Back three or four decades ago, I used to listen to local police and fire departments on my scanner (Icom IC-R7000) but of late, many (most? nearly all?) of those communications are digitally scrambled. That scanner, while an awesome receiver in its day, is all but useless now.
But to your point, the Secret Service should be able to monitor the digital encrypted comms of the local law enforcement because I would think that the decrypting codes would be told to the Secret Service.
Of course, I readily admit, that is a big assumption.

Yeah, an Electromagnetic Fields and Forces course is not for everyone.
I mean, as you know, this is the starting point...
